FROM

Will Potter is an award-winning independent journalist based in
Washington, D.C. He is the author of Green Is the New Red: An Insiderís
Account of a Social Movement Under Siege. His site is about how animal
rights and environmental activists are being targeted as "eco-terrorists,"
and what that means for our safety and freedom.

Iíve devoured TED talks for years, both because I find them individually
fascinating and because, as a speaker, Iím constantly trying to improve my
communication and refine my own style. Whatís remarkable to me about TED is
that experts present their work in brilliantly non-expert ways (and by that
I mean ďways that everyone else outside their field can understandĒ). Itís
exactly what I aspire to do with my journalism. So Iím thrilled to announce
that Iíve been accepted as a TED Fellow for 2014.

That means Iíll get to meet with an inspiring list of artists,
journalists, scientists, and thinkers from around the world, and also the
opportunity to share my own work. I canít wait.
